MSI has announced its second gaming notebook that will be powered by Nvidia's Geforce GTX 570M graphics, the 15.6-inch GT683DX.

Based on Intel's Huron River platform, the GT683DX features a 15.6-inch LED-backlit 1920x1080 screen and packs Intel's Core i7-2630QM 2.0GHz CPU and the Nvidia Geforce GTX 570M graphics card with 1.5GB of memory. The GT683DX is a heavy-weight class notebook tipping the scale at around 3.5kg. It features MSI's Turbo Drive Engine and Cooler Boost to further overclock and cool this beast. Of course, MSI threw in the ECO Engine as well, which should improve battery life.

In addition to the Core i7 2630QM CPU and the Geforce GTX 570M graphics, the GT683DX also comes with support for up to 16GB of DDR3 1066/1333 memory in four slots, up to two 750GB HDDs or a SSD/HDD combo, DVD or Blu-Ray optical drive, Gigabit LAN, 802.11bgn WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0, two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports, eSATA port, card reader, HD webcam, 2.1ch Dynaudio speakers and a 9-cell 780mAh battery.

To ensure that this is an enthusiast gaming notebook, MSI also included some fancy details like the special palm rest, nickel-plated trim around the touchpad, glowing white MSI logo, color print/scratch resistant coating and MSI LED light show.

MSI didn't announce the price of the new GT683DX but there will be several SKUs depending on the amount of memory, HDD/SSD and optical drive choice.

Nvidia has leaked a video showing one of its latest mobile GPUs in some Crysis 2 SLI action.

Although the company has not revealed the details, we are apparently looking at a dual GTX 580M setup on a beastly Clevo 17-incher. The GTX 580M packs 384 cores and it is clocked at 620MHz/1240MHz. The memory clock stands at 1500MHz, it uses a 256-bit bus and bandwidth is rated at 96GB/s. Basically, we are looking at the fastest mobile gaming GPU around.

In addition, Nvidia will also introduce the GTX 570M, which boasts impressive performance as well. It has 336 cores and it’s clocked at 535MHz/1070MHz. Memory speed, bus and bandwidth are the same as on the GTX 580M.

There is still no word on TDPs or pricing, but these GPUs are clearly aimed at high-end gaming laptops, i.e. very pricey and heavy designs.

Nvidia is expected to launch the GTX 580M and GTX 570M shortly, the rumor mill says sometime next week. You can check out the video after the break.
